Link to this clauseSafety Warning
Mountaineering is inherently dangerous. The peaks covered on this site (including Everest, Denali, Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Carstensz Pyramid, Kosciuszko, Vinson, and others) can and do kill experienced, well-equipped climbers every year. The hazards include altitude sickness, avalanches, rockfall, crevasses, extreme cold and storms that arrive without warning.
A summit is only a summit if you return to tell about it. Never let summit fever override your judgement. Set a turnaround time before you leave camp and stick to it, no view, no photo, no record is worth your life or the lives of those who would need to rescue you. Getting down safely is always the right call.
Do not overestimate your fitness, experience, or acclimatization. Conditions change rapidly and without warning. Always climb with a qualified, experienced guide on technical routes. Carry the right gear. Buy comprehensive mountaineering insurance that explicitly covers high-altitude rescue and evacuation. Tell someone your plan and your turnaround criteria before you go.
Nothing on this site constitutes professional mountaineering advice. Use it as a starting point only, and always consult current, qualified, on-the-ground sources before making any decisions in the mountains.
Link to this clauseInformation Accuracy
7summits.com has been built with care over many years and we work hard to keep the information accurate and up to date. However, this site very likely contains outdated, incomplete, or otherwise incorrect information. Ascent dates, summit tallies, route conditions, permit rules and fees all change over time. Historical records (especially for early ascents) are sometimes disputed or uncertain.
Do your own research (DYOR). Verify any information you find here against authoritative, current sources, national park authorities, licensed guide companies, official government agencies, and experienced local operators. Never rely solely on 7summits.com for safety-critical decisions.
Where we know data is estimated, approximate, or disputed, we try to say so explicitly. Where we don't know, there may still be errors we haven't caught. If you spot a mistake, please let us know, we take corrections seriously.

Link to this clauseAffiliate Links
Some links on 7summits.com are affiliate links. They go through an address on this site starting with /go/, then on to the shop. If you buy something, the shop may pay us a small part of the price; you pay exactly what you would pay going to the shop directly. Where a link can earn, a line under it says so. Today that means book links in the Library, most of them to Amazon. An affiliate link never decides what we recommend.
